Monumental Monastery
On a hilltop some 500 mts above sea level and following a hair raising drive up a serpentine and almost perpendicular road, you reach the monumental and former Benedictine monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes (built in the 10th to 11th century AD). It is part of a complex that included Verdera Castle and the town of Santa Creu (Holy Cross). The architectural remains of the monastery, castle and town are apparently a unique example of the structure of a medieval settlement.
